European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Your Nature, an eco-resort located in Antoing, Belgium, has filed for bankruptcy in October 2025, resulting in the loss of around 100 jobs.
The resort, which opened in 2022, was developed on a 280-hectare site. Despite an investment of €125 million since its founding in 2017, the project failed to generate profits. By 2023, the resort had accumulated €15 million in losses, while its parent company, Péronnes Invest, reported €30 million in losses. Efforts to relaunch the project in 2024, led by principal shareholder Prince Édouard de Ligne, were unsuccessful.
Some jobs may be preserved for maintenance and security, and stakeholders are exploring options to repurpose the site, potentially as a holiday village with a theme park, although regional regulations may limit redevelopment possibilities.
